<p><b>Overview</b></p><blockquote>





Preference file contains user defined program parameters stored on the disk and 
read back when the program start again (like '.INI' files under Windows for example). PureBasic offers the possibility to create 
hierarchical preference file easily useable on any computer platform. The file format is in ascii (standard) 
with one preference per line, using the 'Keyword = Value' syntax. Groups can be created for better 
reading. 
<br>
<br>
Compiling in <a href="../reference/ide_compiler.html">unicode modus</a> forces PureBasic to save the strings in the 
preference file in <a href="../reference/unicode.html">UTF-8 format</a>.
